  It means doing LG sections from PT 1-35 under timed conditions specified by JY. If you can't get a -0 under, for instance 5 minutes, then watch JY's video, memorize the infrences and try again at a later time.

  Hi, @awood5
  Foolproofing, generally, is what we call taking an LG game and tryimg to understand everything about it. First, you print out multiple copies of the game and then attempt it. Were u able to do it? How long did it take? So after doing it timed you watch the video explanation for the game and then do it again and again until you can get the game under the recommended time. It is generally an intensive that people devote their whole day of studying too for however long it takes to get comfortable. Generally people foolproof all the games from 1 to 35. There is a method created by @pacifico that many swear by. The goal is to get comfortable wiith all the different standard game types and memorize certain key recurring inferences.

  Yup. This sums it up. Also, here's a perfect video of JY explaining it:

  you also don't have to do all of 1-35, though generally recommended. You should ideally aim to fool proof probably every game though. It will only make you better and faster at the harder games!

  Here is the renowned @Pacifico method that I and many other successful Sagers have followed and adapted.
